I was always thinking of turning homeless, poor, and fat people into a source of power. Like, create a powerstation that produces electricity from man-powered turbines. For disabled and heavy people, you just have a ramp leading to a lift. They roll or walk onto the lift, and the lift lowers them back to the ground.

Since they are essentially working out all day, they're going to be hungry as hell. So you have a cafeteria and you sell them food to recoup part of the cost of paying them.

Kinda makes me wonder if a man-powered power station could be profitable. Hell, you might be able to sell memberships and pawn it off as a gym. You could even put mentally disabled people to work here. Just chain em to a 20-man turbine and let them walk in circles for hours.

Got kids? Bring em to work. Let them play with a bunch of kinetic toys that also make power.

This place wouldn't even need to turn a profit. If you broke even, call it a non profit. Not only are you making people less fat, but you're giving money to poor people and churning out electricity.

Thinking about it, this would be like a gym that pays you to work out.

In the long term, they physically couldn't produce more than 2000 Calories of energy a day on a normal diet. They could probably produce more energy per hour, and therefore be paid more, by mining coal or gas or oil.

Edit: It would actually cost poor people money to produce electricity in this way. If you burn 100 Calories in the gym, and 100% of this energy is captured and converted into electricity, that is 418,400 Joules or about .12 Kilowatt hours. At current prices (often between 8 and 16 cents per kilowatt hour), this would yield 1 to 2 cents of income per 100 Calories burned. And to make money by doing this, they would need a food source that can provide 100 Calories of energy that costs less than 1 to 2 cents.

i have had this idea myself. start it as a free membership gym or as you said a non profit. and once it gains wind start charging a small fee and use it to continue to churn out new and exciting machines for people to use

After just watching the video of the actual robot, it took me until well after they'd kicked it over to realise this video was two guys in tights (though I suppose I should have realised this from your description). It's terrifying how animal-like the real robot is when it recovers from being knocked or put on a slippy surface.

Because this table is designed so it can be pushed without tipping it over. Wheels are in constant contact with the ground and in the event of friction like rough terrain, grass, or other similar situations where wheels wouldn't spin that well - the table would tip over.

This design takes advantage of the fact that a torque on the table basically converts into the legs moving as opposed to the table moving.

It's a way better design, maybe a little slow for my tastes, but it has advantages over wheels.
